Instructions

Mix the chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small dish. Season chicken breasts on both sides with half of the spice mixture and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned; transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining olive oil to the pot. Sauté the onion and chopped jalapeño peppers for a few minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and remaining spices; cook for an additional minute.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot, scraping any brown bits off the bottom. Return the chicken to the pot, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes until chicken is tender.
Shred the chicken with two forks after removing it from the pot.
In the pot, stir in the cream cheese, half and half, and lime juice. Add the shredded chicken, frozen corn, and drained cannellini beans.
Mix the cornstarch with water in a small dish and add it to the chili. Bring to a simmer until the chili thickens, stirring occasionally.
Serve with toppings like cotija cheese, cilantro, chopped onion, sour cream, and lime wedges.

Notes

For a spicier chili, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeños.
This chili can be made ahead of time and freezes well.
